Okay so I finally built rhythmbox via jhbuild after 8 hours of struggle. Still need a bit of clarification.
The plugin guide for rhythmbox mentions two paths where rhythmbox looks for plugins. $libdir/rhythmbox/plugins and $HOME/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins.
Now considering my 'prefix' or install path for jhbuild is say ~/dev/jhbuild/install/,
What would these directories correspond to in this jhbuild sandbox?
I see similar directories as ~/dev/jhbuild/install/lib64/rhythmbox/plugins and ~/dev/jhbuild/install/share/rhythmbox/plugins respectively.
Is this the way it's supposed to be? i mean, my jhbuilt sandboxed rhythmbox would know from some internal jhbuild magic that $libdir for itself is "~/dev/jhbuild/install/lib64/" and not "/usr/lib" like it normally is?
If yes, I think I understood the purpose of JHBuild.
